RCB vs MI pitch report

Looks a really good track with a tinge of grass on it, but it's a little dry underneath. The bounce has been consistent on this ground. If you're bowling defensively you need to make sure there's significant difference in pace. Variations are crucial. It still looks good for batting," say Darren Ganga and JP Duminy during the RCB vs MI pitch report.

RCB vs MI toss prediction

A 190-plus total was chased down with 10 balls to spare in the previous game at Abu Dhabi. However, not every team has managed to score as easily at the venue where boundaries have been hard to come by. The pitches at ABu Dhabi haven't slowed down like they have in Sharjah and Dubai. The temperature is expected to hover in the late 20s.

Key bowlers for RCB

The likes of Chris Morris, Moeen Ali and Gurkeerat Mann, who form the lower-middle order, can also chip in with useful cameos.

 

But for the southern team there is injury scare on the bowling front with pacer Navdeep Saini suffering a split webbing. There is no clarity on his participation for the game against Mumbai.

 

In case he misses, Chris Morris and Mohammad Siraj would need to shoulder greater responsibility along with Isuru Udana.'
